The real story of Rosa Parks — and why we need to confront myths about black history
Summary
This is the story that I have to read because in Japan also, there is some history that we need to confront, so not only about black history but also many histories in the world are often watered down, riddled with inaccuracies and stripped historical figures. Is it better for us and the future to talk real histories, this time is anout Rosa Parks, as benign and digestible stories?

The speaker tells us that it’s wrong. This was a burden that our parents carried thus any more, children and future should not be thinking about having to take responsibility. However, even teachers don't teach children correct histories but white authors also couldn’t write true black myths. They say that white Americans have a serious, serious problem.
And then the speaker says honestly, “l don’t know if race relation will improve in America, but l know that if they will improve, we have to take these challenges on head on. The future of our children depends on it, whether you know it or not, though”.

How do people think about the power and impotence of historical accuracy?
